We had a very busy but fun weekend. Fairy and Pixie both did a wonderful job in this year’s production of The Nutcracker. It has been a wonderful, jolly sort of chaos the past few weeks and although the girls are sad to be done for the year, this backstage mama is very happy to …
Your little Fairy Girls will love this Rainbow Petal Skirt Knitting Pattern. This knit petal skirt is an easy pattern for beginning knitters to tackle. Each of the 7 petal sections are knit flat as individual pieces. When all the petal are complete they are whipped stitched together to form the skirt. Enjoy the petal …

I just completed my first project from More Knitting in the Sun: 32 Patterns to Knit for Kids… a summer weight shrug for Fairy-girl, my little ballerina.
